Lindolfo Delgado and Carlos Sanchez to duel in Arizona

Unbeaten junior welterweight Lindolfo Delgado, a 2016 Mexican Olympian, is set to make his 2024 debut. Delgado will face countryman Carlos “El Tiburon” Sanchez in a ten-round contest on Friday, March 29th at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Delgado-Sanchez is added to a loaded card that features Oscar Valdez against Liam Wilson in the ten-round main event and the undisputed, twelve-round minimumweight world title showdown between WBC/WBA champion Seniesa “Super Bad” Estrada and WBO/IBF queen Yokasta Valle. The entire card will stream live and exclusively in the United States on ESPN+. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with No Limit Boxing, tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.com.
 
Delgado said, “With every fight, we continue to get better. We train thoroughly in each camp so that I can give the very best of myself in the ring and move closer to a world title. 2024 is going to be a big year, and I can’t wait to perform in front of the great Arizona fans.”
 
Delgado (19-0, 14 KOs) graduated from prospect to contender in August 2022 when he upset previously unbeaten Omar Aguilar by unanimous decision. That eight-round firefight ranked among the year’s best slugfests, and Delgado carried his momentum into 2023. He went 3-0 last year, dominating Clarence Booth over eight one-sided rounds in February, nearly shutting out Jair Valtierra over ten rounds in August, and starching Luis Hernandez in four rounds in November. The Booth and Valtierra fights took place at Desert Diamond Arena, and Delgado hopes to impress once more.
 
Sanchez (25-2, 19 KOs) is an eight-year pro who has only been stopped once. Last September, he dropped a ten-round decision on the road to Canada's Steve Claggett. Three months later, he got back on the winning track with an eight-round points verdict over Carlos Diaz.
